what makes Titanic a masterpiece is that it takes the love story from History Is Made at Night, the most romantic movie ever made, but makes Charles Boyer and Jean Arthur’s characters teenagers. like it’s honestly astonishing how much James Cameron pulled it off

"Harming people"??????

Replying to @squidias @eternalbrook
That's exactly the point - "possibly mean." I understood everything even without an explanation. But here's the thing: teaching people and giving advice is a skill. And if you don't have that skill, you're harming people.

Watched the entirety of Witness for the Prosecution thinking "man Charles Laughton isn't even attempting a British accent" only to have wikipedia tell me Charles Laughton is in fact British

"the tone of mom telling a kid what to do" the Everyone On Twitter Is Twelve theory vindicated once again

Replying to @TheFaceOfAsa @eternalbrook
Delivery, unfortunately. The post is short with no context and explanation which is going to be read as sarcastic or egotistical. There are no examples, which makes its usefulness void, so it gains the tone of mom telling a kid what to do, so everyone's knee-jerk reaction is "no"

a lot of you quote retweeting w/ screenshots of your own heavily italicized fic are, how shall I say this, not helping your own case
jerrycumfumble@eternalbrookOct 24
I am advising fic writers as kindly as possible to step away from the italics

I am a writer. And if someone stops writing because they are overwhelmed by a completely anodyne, generalized piece of advice then that's not on me.

My new hobby is memorizing poems. Gerard Manly Hopkins you were crazy. I spent years thinking this poem was about a horse

unless you’re referencing another work piece then you must italicize the title and use MLA formatting

It does affect the quality of the writing; that's why I said it.

A little goes a long way! When you use them a lot it lessens their individual impact, and can create a rhythm that is both overwrought and monotonous. It's helpful to find varied ways to bring emphasis in your writing and use them as a last resort. xitter.cf/nobunny_y/status/21140…

amazing how many ppl think my tweet was rude and aggressive, but coming to my mentions to tell me to shut the fuck up is, I guess, cool and chill

no, no, I was in fact directly attacking them, the main character of the universe
leah@kmewisfcOct 24
really odd phenomenon on here where someone like this will make a general statement or give advice about fic writing Without addressing any particular person. and then a bunch of people react like they’ve been harmed and also personally victimized

'Hostile'??????
Lir@lirrycznaOct 24
Replying to @eternalbrook
Your unsolicited advice being a blanket statement that does not apply to every writer makes it seem hostile while also being useless. Why cannot we let people write what they feel is cool, just for fun?

Genuine question: who is 'you people?' People who think italics should be used sparingly?
